A Shot in Camp.

Early one morning a shot was heard in
the direction of n of our pickets. Every
man turned out in double-quick time.
Captain W., with a squad of men, has
tened toward the point from which the
sound of the shot came. Asking the picket
the cause Of the alarm, he was informed
that the bushes were full of men.
"Where are your men? I don't see any
thing?" shouted the Captain.
"Oyer there. Don't you see a gray coat?
l do, any way, and I sent a bullet through
that coat, too. 1t looks rather queer for
him to stand there after a bullet has gone
through him, as though he was bullet
proof"
I'VE will see what it is" said Captain
W., making q rush for those bushes, with
saber drawn.
In a moment he reached the strip Of
brush and caught the skulker, which was
not q man, but was an army blanket that
had got wet the day before, and had been
hung on q low bush to dry. As the owner
was on picket, he did not need the blanket,
and left it over night.
Captain w. fastened to headquarters
with the information that it was q false
alarm, and few in that vast army knew that
the whole trouble was caused by q wet
blanket. G. N. LORD.

A Paymaster Robbed.

Particulars are just received at Douglas,
Wyoming, OF the robbery Of United States
Army Paymaster d. N. Bush of 81, 500 a.

route to Fort Mckinney to pay off troops
there, md stopped at Antelope Springs to
eat dinner, leaving o valice containing the
money in a coach which stood u few feet
from the building and i'll plain view of the
major and his escort as they sat ut the
table. During the progress Of the meal q
stranger who had arrived Mt the station that
morning, and was present when the stage
came, ran to the vehicle and seized the
%valice, jumped on a horse standing
near, and was off like the wind.
The paynnas.cy's party sprang for their
guns and ran out, firing several shots at
the flying desperate without effect. Mount
ing the stage horses, they followed the fug-
tive, who turned in his saddle and fret
several shots, which were returned 10y his
pursuers with interest. Thu robbers horse,
however, was far superior to those IN
which the paymaster's party were mounted,
and he was soon lost to s ght. Following
his trail tie valise was found, from which
the ROLLER had removed the money!; also Il
pair of pants minus Que leg, evidently
util: zed by the fugitive as n sack i'll which
to carry his cash. The thief is known to
be Il cowboy named Charles Parser, who
has been until recently on - ranch Oh
Cheyenne river. The. money taken
amounted to IL. 5OO-$25O i'll silver and
the remainder in bills. Maj. Bush offers q
reward of l 900 for the capture OF the
robber or the return of the money.

General Banks and the others who wore

Band Leader Gilmore's Baton.

P. S. G1more's baton IS made Of light,
dry wood, that viii give distinct, sharp
sound when raped against the stand
With it be gives the most minute instruc-
tons to the musicians before him. A rap
for attention, wave to commence, all
eyes Of the band are alert TO catch the
slightest movement Of the magic wand,
for its every motion is an order to them
to begin, to cease, to play soft and low or
loud and strong; every note and express
sion is the result Of some deft movement
of the tvig like baton. Gilmore has them
made to order and buys them by the
dozen, for he wears out one in Two or
three concerts. BY the constant rapping
the end OF the stick becomes battered and
frayed. and then it is tossed aside; its
magic power is gone.
This season Gilmore took with him to
Manhattan Beach 5000 separate pieces Of
music. The day before the opening three
solid tons of sheet music were packed in
twenty-eight dry goods boxes for shipment
to the beach. To make this library Of
music of any value it has to be properly
assorted, arranged and indexed, which
alone requires the services Of two compe-
tent men. New music is constantly being
added to the collection, and to copy and
arrange this for the use of the band re-
quires the constant employment of three,
and sometimes four and five persons
